Our current Website is intended to convey the range of studio pottery and ceramics that we produce, the environment in which we live and work and the context which gives meaning to our pursuit.
Our working studio is situated in the historic heart of Swellendam in the Overberg region of the Western Cape in South Africa, on the N2 national road, halfway between Cape Town and the Garden Route.
We are open daily and visitors are welcome to browse and enjoy the environment. It is advisable to call ahead if traveling from afar.
The Website will also give those unable to visit the studio an opportunity to view our work and environment, select a piece or commission work from us.
The Studio and Gallery are open daily and visitors are welcome

“Behind the work of the potter is a search for truth and beauty, through form, glaze and function, and in rare cases, the work of the individual potter may express spiritual value. When successful, such human qualities can bring warmth to the coldness of our high tech environment.”
Peter Rushforth – Studio Potter: 1920 – 2015)
“It is every person’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he or she takes out of it” Albert Einstein.
